Brownsburg High School, located less than half an hour away from Butler University, has provided one of the great athletes in Butler history in current Utah Jazz player and NBA all-star Gordon Hayward. Junior outfielder Tyler Houston is carrying on the legacy of Brownsburg alumni starring for the Bulldogs, this time in baseball.
Houston’s production in his first two seasons at Butler earned him an invitation to play in the Cape Cod Baseball League last summer, which is a select league for MLB teams to evaluate top college baseball players.
